Where have all the days and weeks gone this year? Over the last few months, I have been busily editing a contemporary romance that I recently completed writing.
Therefore, unfortunately, I have neglected writing posts for my blog. So thanks to my readers, both old and new, who have continued to visit.
Although I am happy with the end product, if I don’t sit down and read a chapter every day, I have severe withdrawal symptoms. I continually want to check that the comma or semicolon hasn’t left the page overnight and gone on holiday.
Even finding one little escapee punctuation mark always gives me a sense of achievement that day. Sad but true, I am afraid.
Hopefully, I will cure this compulsion soon. The cure is likely to be by restarting an old project. Something I have half-written, it is all plotted and outlined from beginning to end. So, I hope it won’t take me too long to get back into it.
Ernest Hemingway said he edited The Fifth Column and the Forty-Nine Stories 49 times. I will always need to remind myself of that.
Goodness, does that mean I’m on the search for those little rascals of punctuation again tomorrow?
